[MichiganVote]

2. Can't afford two wars w/o raising taxes either but not gonna happen

[Danger Mouse]

3. Maybe we could, and this is a crazy idea, you know...end the wars?

[MichiganVote]

6. Yeah but (enter bullshit) wouldn't we put people out of work?

[Lorien]

4. Yep. nt

[RainDog]

5. snore

when actions match words, let me know.

[Blaq Dem]

7. How many nations ever paid down their debts by giving tax cuts their wealthiest citizens?

Common sense. To pay down ANY debt, there needs to be some source of revenue coming in. The GOP can slice EVERYTHING to zero, that still won't solve the budget crisis. I wish people would stop being stupid.

[Myrina]

8. Then why the hell did he make them practically inevitable?

:shrug:

[Safetykitten]

9. Too late...they are permanent now.

[quinnox]

10. Too late, and he will be "forced" to extend them again

because of the republicans will hold something else hostage next time.

"I really am against these tax cuts, but I have no choice! The republicans made me do it!"

So lame.

[Danger Mouse]

11. He's a smart man. He should know better. Expecting the republicans to play fair..

or honest....is a futile pursuit.
